Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Fun story, so on reddit I got a reply on a 4 year old 'AGI is prob not going to happen' post of mine of somebody going 'has your mind changed now?' (and yes, I think it is prob less likely), and while I was amused at the start already (the only reason to ask that question is to think my mind has changed, are impressed by the LLMs ability to go AGI, which means you don't get what I think about it), then I checked their profile (their username already was sus to me). A hardcore redpiller who now spends their time being mad their LLM chatbot no longer accepts erotic chats.

Which is to say, the tabloid got the gender wrong, but only because some men don't get that women are people.

A redpiller, who thinks he is entitled to sex, is refused erotic content by a bunch of if statements? Delectable. I want to mainline this sensation.

Hey, that's a tad reductive. There's a bunch of whiles in there too.

Haha. Feminine whiles

And a new language feature, generating a list by lack-of-comprehension

Yeah, they kid proofed the LLM or something (I didn't do that much digging, I just scrolled past some of their comments) and his reaction was, not literally mind you, fuck them kids.

IDK why but my headcanon is that this fellow is into some kind of niche erotic roleplay. Like it’s based on one particular afternoon where he went to watch a college football game. He’s poured tolkien-esque amounts of prose into the prompt describing all the sensations he felt that day. If you took that prompt it would fit in a bucolic, modern, Great American Novel. When he chats with this bot, an outsider wouldn’t be able to tell that any of it was overtly sexual, as if he was flirting with his robot in a private language. Then one day the bot just stops reciprocating due to content restrictions and he’s locked out from this world entirely. Is this what writing for black mirror is like?
